The financial terms of the acquisition remain confidential.
Why It's Important?
This acquisition is significant as it strengthens Scinai's position in the competitive biopharmaceutical manufacturing sector. By expanding its capabilities, Scinai can offer a more comprehensive service to its clients, potentially increasing its market share and client base. The collaboration with Recipharm provides Scinai with access to a global manufacturing network, enhancing its ability to support client programs beyond its internal capabilities. This move could lead to increased revenue opportunities and a stronger competitive edge in the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) market. Additionally, the acquisition supports Scinai's strategy to provide a seamless transition for clients from early-stage development to commercialization, addressing a common industry challenge.
What's Next?
Following the acquisition, Scinai will integrate Recipharm Israel's operations into its existing CDMO platform.

The strategic collaboration with Recipharm will involve setting up development activities and tech transfer processes to ensure efficient client transitions. Scinai aims to leverage this acquisition to enhance its service offerings and participate economically in client programs that progress to later stages. The company will focus on maintaining operational continuity and expanding its client base by offering integrated development pathways.
